Abstract

Il ne s'agit pas là de philosophie comparée, par mise en parallèle des conceptions; mais d'un dialogue philosophique, où chaque pensée, à la rencontre de l'autre, s'interroge sur son impensé ('This is not about comparative philosophy, about paralleling different conceptions, but about a philosophical dialogue in which every thought, when coming towards the other, questions itself about its own unthought' (Jullien 2006, p. vi)) 他山之石,可以攻玉 (tā shān zhī shí, kěyǐ gōng yù) ('The stone from another mountain can be used to polish one's own jade' (Xiao Ya, Shijing: He Ming, 1000 A. C.)
